Common questions

The button does not appear on an image.
It only shows on images large enough to fish and where water is actually detected. If you are sure there is water, right-click the image and choose Fish here — that always works.

Part of the water is not fishable, or the sky is.
The water shape is read from the picture, and some photos fool it. Open the toolbar and press , then drag along the water's edge to correct the shoreline. Your correction is saved and shared with everyone fishing that image.

It says the fish reached the snags.
Fish run away from you until they leave the water. If you cast into a narrow bay or close to the bank, a big fish has very little distance to cover before it is safe. Tighten the drag with the mouse wheel to stop the run earlier, or cast further out.

The line keeps snapping.
Watch the bar on the line, not the fish. When it goes red, stop cranking and let the fish run — the tension drops on its own. Loosening the drag helps too.
